Great AdLaw/Reg Panels at The Federalist Society Annual Faculty Conference This Weekend

Later this week the American Association of Law Schools (AALS) holds its annual meeting in Washington, DC (more details here). There are some terrific regulation-related panels at AALS this year, but preregistration is required and the attendance cost is pretty significant.

This weekend the Federalist Society will be hosting its annual faculty conference right across the street (at the Omni Shoreham). Preregistration is required, but uUnlike AALS the Federalist Society conference is free for professors as well as aspiring professors. You view the whole schedule and register here. [UPDATE: While preregistration would be helpful for planning purposes, the Federalist Society has informed me that it’s not at all required.]

The Federalist Society’s annual faculty conference is in its seventeenth year, and this year’s schedule is packed with administrative law and regulation topics from the nation’s leading experts. Here are some of the adlaw/reg highlights:

The Executive Power to Not Enforce the Law

9:00-10:45 am

Prof. John Harrison, University of Virginia School of Law

Prof. Gillian Metzger, Columbia Law School

Prof. Zachary Price, University of California Hastings College of Law

Prof. Nicholas Quinn Rosenkranz, Georgetown University Law Center

Moderator: Prof. Tara Leigh Grove, William & Mary Law School

Lunch Debate: Resolved, that the Affordable Care Act does not authorize subsidies for individuals purchasing health insurance through federal exchanges

A number of other panels include the presentation of adlaw/reg papers (for instance, I’ll be presenting my agency statutory interpretation study on Saturday afternoon). Check out the full schedule here for more details.

So if you are an adlaw professor (or an aspiring one) who will be in DC this weekend, definitely drop in and check out these terrific events (and don’t forget to preregister).
